A Bottom Up Approach to Learning

We strive to be bottom-up in every way possible - through our education content and delivery which begin with the lived experiences of our participants, and through the composition of our field teams who are often members of the communities we work with. We concretize, localize, and socialize the education.

Making A Difference

“I never thought of myself as a customer. I thought of myself as someone who buys and the shop-keeper as someone who sells”. - MLP Recipient, Tamil Nadu, India

“No matter the size or location of the business, the customer’s attitudes about your products and environment will dictate your success or failure…” – MLP Recipient

"MLP taught me to do research into what people locally needed, after that I began selling cabbage and specific fruits that there was a high demand for. This allowed me to buy a bicycle with which cut down the time it takes me to get water, from over two hours to under one." - MLP Recipient, Nakivale Refugee Settlement, Uganda

"I learned how to be a better customer, I learned how to understand customer needs, and I developed a concept of value addition." -Maasai Tribeswoman, Mukuru Village, Tanzania
